Qiu Tu: .....
This fucking "Heavenly God Trial", is it like a damn chicken coop? Anyone can just show up?
Both of those enemies are going to participate in the "Heavenly God Trial." Won't I just run into them there?
What kind of shit luck is this!
Even if Zhao Ji is by my side when the ti cos, I still can't feel safe.
It's not that Qiu Tu looks down on Zhao Ji. Mainly... the higher the realm, the higher the innate talent required.
An average person might luck out and beco a Second-Order Cataclysmic, but could spend their whole life never reaching Third Order.
A regular genius might just make it as a Fifth-Order Calamity Being, but probably will never hit Sixth Rank their entire life.
So... anyone who has beco an Eighth Rank Catastrophe being must truly be heaven's chosen, sons of fate. Both in talent and ability, they're far beyond the ordinary.
In this kind of matchup, the talent gap between Zhao Ji and her opponents won't be as vast as it was with Little Yaksha or the Nine-headed Lion before.
Sa goes for their strength.
At Peak Fifth Rank, Zhao Ji could kill a Yaksha who was an entire realm higher; at Sixth Rank, she was invincible among peers, even killed the Nine-headed Lion who failed to ascend to Seventh Rank.
But now at Seventh Rank, it's hard for Zhao Ji to fight above her level. Or... even if she can, she'd at most tangle with soone in the mid-to-late Eighth Rank, no higher than that.
After all, Zhao Ji's a peerless prodigy, but so are her opponents. There'll be talent gaps, but not by much.
So, in this situation, up against a joint attack from two top powerhouses, Zhao Ji really might not be able to keep Qiu Tu safe.
Thinking of all this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but suck in a breath between his teeth, 'Shit... This is troubleso.'
'With all the hate I've racked up, what if going to the "Heavenly God Trial" not only doesn't help Zhao Ji, it just gets her in even more trouble?'
After worrying for a while, Qiu Tu snapped back to reality.
He looked at Candle Dance in front of him and said, "Alright. Your intel these days was pretty crucial, so I won't bla you for just eating, drinking, and ssing around lately."
"As for your Boundless Divine Crystal expenses, total up the number, and I'll make it up to you later. Consider it the company's di."
"Don't worry, I won't let you pay out of your own stash when you're helping out."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Candle Dance's eyes brightened a bit.
She looked at Qiu Tu, then asked, "You have a lot of Boundless Divine Crystal over there?"
Qiu Tu glanced at her, then shot her down, "Not really. I'm just a guy from an 'edge region', how much Boundless Divine Crystal could I possibly own?"
"But... don't worry. I won't shortchange you."
"Worst case, we can go 'procure' more together."
Candle Dance: ...
Listening to Qiu Tu's "real Hell" joke, Candle Dance was speechless for a mont. Those Evil Gods and their father-daughter duo must be pretty unlucky.
So, after a couple seconds of silent staring, she decisively changed the topic, "Anyway, now that we've covered your enemies in the 'Fog Hidden Association,' let tell you about Qing Lan, the Domain Master of the Third Capital."
Hearing Candle Dance, Qiu Tu imdiately thought of Qing Lan, who was just eavesdropping a mont ago, and quickly raised his hand to cut her off, "Wait."
Candle Dance paused, looking at Qiu Tu in confusion.
Qiu Tu mouthed, "Qing Lan is watching."
When she heard Qiu Tu, Candle Dance's eyes—just like Shen Lingshuang's—blinked, and a flash of realization crossed her face.
She replied, "Alright then, let's talk about it after we leave the 'Qing Lan Divine Domain.'"
But just as she said that, suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted throughout the entire 'Shuangxi Building'!
That aura was almost tangible, shooting straight into the sky! It even blasted a huge hole through the roof of 'Shuangxi Building'!
Gale-force winds howled upward from the sixth floor, sweeping up piles of woodchips and clothes!
Qiu Tu and Candle Dance were both startled, their bodies tensing up instantly, warily staring all around!
Qiu Tu grumbled silently to himself: He and Candle Dance had barely said anything! Was it really necessary to overreact like this?
But just as he was thinking this, the aura vanished even faster than it appeared.
The next second, it rapidly withdrew and disappeared completely.
Still in a fighting state, Qiu Tu hesitated for a mont, then used his Seventh Rank spiritual power to sweep through the entire Shuangxi Building: no sign of Qing Lan.
All he found was the ceiling of the Sky Room—a Sixth Rank suite—with a massive hole, through which he could see a sky full of stars, gorgeously beautiful.
'Huh? Looks like it wasn't aid at us? '
'So what triggered it?'
As he pondered, Qiu Tu seed to think of sothing and quickly closed his eyes to sense Zhao Ji's location.
The next second, he snapped his eyes open, full of tension.
Because... his guess was right. Zhao Ji seriously took only half an hour to rush from the far-off 'Great Hu Pass' all the way to the 'Qing Lan Divine Domain.'
Looks like, Zhao Ji's entry into the Divine Domain probably triggered Qing Lan's alarm, which made Qing Lan lose control and explode with that aura—then instantaneously teleported away.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but worry.
After all... at full count, Zhao Ji is only at Seventh Rank.
Here in the 'Qing Lan Divine Domain,' Qing Lan herself is a Great Evil God at Peak Eighth Rank.
The difference in their Ranks is a whole major level apart, plus the ho ground advantage—Qiu Tu really doesn't think Zhao Ji can handle that.
With these thoughts, Qiu Tu couldn't sit still anymore. After a brief hesitation, he said, "All of you, get back to the base camp right now and pack your things!"
"I've got urgent business to deal with now."
Everyone responded imdiately to Qiu Tu's words.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't hold back, opened his "Order Space" directly, stretched its range to the max, and instantly jumped toward the border!
And at the sa ti.....
At the border of the Qing Lan Divine Domain, Qing Lan sat mid-air, lazily watching Zhao Ji in front of her, and said,
"So you're Zhao Ji?"
And opposite her stood Zhao Ji, with one foot already stepping into the Qing Lan Divine Domain.
Her eyes scanned Qing Lan, face showing neither joy nor anger—yet Zhao Ji actually frowned ever so slightly for once.
'Ninety points?'
For a mont, disbelief flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes, but the next mont it faded to coldness. If you looked closely, though, you could sense sothing deeper hidden within.
"Yes, that's ."
Zhao Ji replied icily.
Qing Lan clearly didn't notice Zhao Ji's mood shift; drifting in the air with a cloud of aromatic perfu, she lazily said, "Go back. This is my Divine Domain. I don't want any trouble with you."
